I removed the tranny from this direct drive and have some raw live photos. The brake cam actuator was just dangling. The c clip is missing. As you can see this lever releases the brake. It sits on the base of the spin tube. It has a recessed grove and is held into the base by a simple c clip. Click pix to enlarge:

The missing clip is part number 90368. so what seems to be a junker can be fixed for less than 5 bucks

Since I replaced the motor (with another used motor), new clutch and capacitor, it had been working great until a couple weeks ago. Now it won't spin at all. No clicking, no humming, just dead when it is on the "spin" setting.

Any ideas? I have the urge to go new at this point since the money and time I'm putting into the old one is starting to make less sense.
